Dont get me wrong I love the game too LOL . Just cant afford a jappenese PS2 and get khFM 2......

You don't have to buy a Jap. PS2. You only need to get the Swap Magic that costs around 23-30 dollars.

1. We probably give Square Einx probably twice or more the amount of money than Japan gives them for their games.

2. We probably did not get the last FM because of the fact we had 3 extra bosses, Ice Titan, Sephiroth, and Kurt Zisa. If they gave us the last one Japan would still feel like a company and owner that are Jappenese at origin (as far as I know) would put another country first. (Well at least thats what I would think was going through their minds).

3. This is the final summary. Dogenzaka is right We did not get a better kh this time. they get the FM first ( with Re: Com). ALOT of their profits come from us.

Why would'nt they?
Exactly. The U.S bought 2 to 3 times the amount of copies of KH2. Japan only bought like 1.2 million units while we bought over 3 million. They would be losing major profits. But not just to us but to Europe and Australia. Since we won't buy as much units because some people wouldn't use the money for KH2:FM+, they could send the units to Europe and Australia so they wouldn't have 2 million extra copies in a warehouse somewhere in Japan that could go to consumers who are willing to purchase.

Oh and about the Square chat thing, I'll try tomorrow. :D

I wonder if putting this info on the main page would help to inform people that there is a list that they can be added to, to get official information from Squeenix when it becomes available.......

Also, I really want to know what Monkeybutt knows that we don't............

Okay, I have a couple of questions.

First, Did they have Japanese voices for the orginal KH II?

Second, Didn't they say that they were going to have English voices for KHII: FM+ for Japan?

The reason I'm asking is if they do have the English voices, why would they go through that trouble of having the English voices if it was only going to be for "Japan" if it is really only going to be for Japan?

We still don't know if it is coming to NA.

Catarina, because, the Japanese prefer English voices. Just like a lot of Americans prefer Japanese VAs in their anime/games, etc., Japanese actually prefer English voice acting.
Just for reference, KH1 FM had English Voice Acting as well as to fill in the new scenes. Do tell me if it came to the U.S. xD

Well here is my conversation. I used the name Yusuke Yamaguchi. Pretty Creative, Eh?

I also asked about KH merchandising so ignore it if not interested...

Also, aparently, they aren't all Neils!! I talkd with an SER Wesley S!!!:blink: :scared: 0-0

That should be a famous quote: Wesley S, breaking the 'Neil" mold. lawlls

Wait one moment while you are being connected. You will be notified once you are connected with a SQUARE ENIX representative.
All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.
An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.
The next available Agent will be with you in a moment.
All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.
You have been connected to SER Neil.
SER Neil: Hello, Yusuke, thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Center. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.
SER Neil: There has not been any announcements of a Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix in North America.If you would like, I will add your name and e-mail to a list of people interested, so basically when/ if I hear of something official, I will alert you.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: So there isn't any news at all?
SER Neil: No there isn't, like I said, I will personally e-mail you if anything comes out.
SER Neil: Are there any other issues I can assist you with right now, Yusuke?
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Okay. Add me to the list then.
SER Neil: Great I would be happy to do so, is there anything else I can help you with?
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Hmmm....Do you have a rough estimate on how many people are on this list?
SER Neil: I can't release that, I'm sorry, but it's alot.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Alot, eh? There must be a high demand for this game.
SER Neil: It's not so much that, it's more people who heard the news released for the JP market inquiring the same as you are.
SER Neil: But let me remind you..the first Final Mix did not come out in North America.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Well, that is understandable, considering the popularity of this game in NA and in other countrys such as Euroupe and Australia.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Yes, I do know that.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: That was because our version was like a Final Mix To people in JP.
SER Neil: Exactly, so that being said, I cannot guarantee a Final Mix in the US.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Can you say anything about the chances ofit being a release of the game in other countries like NA?
SER Neil: No I'm sorry.
SER Neil: I can only comment on the North American Market.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Because, I'm sureNomura would like everyone to experience the storyline to the fullest without missing out.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: So itis up to Nomura then, to release it in NA?
SER Neil: I can understand how you feel that way, no it is not up to solely Nomura.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Because, I can speak for a lot of people that really enjoy this game that wouldn't want to miss out on this without having to import it. sure we missed out in KH final Mix but that was only because Nomura added extra stuff for the NA release without saying anything to JP. So, would that mean a greater chance of it being released into the NA since we all got the same game?
SER Neil: Yusuke, you need to accept please that there may not be a Final Mix released in North America, trying to understand why cannot be explained over this chat.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: I can accept this, I'm just trying to know all the info I can. I'm sorry if i'm being a hassle.
SER Neil: No hassle whatsoever, please understand, you are asking me questions I do not have the answers to.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: I am sorry. I didn't mean to jump the gun there.
SER Neil: What I have been told to relay to the public inquiring about Final Mix is that there is no plan to release it in North America, a reason why was not explained to me.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Okay, I understand.
SER Neil: I have absolutely no problem with you coming into chat, but keep in mind, I can only comment on things OFFICIALLY announced through Square-Enix North America.
SER Neil: But as a courtesy to the loyal fans out there, thats why I have put together the "list" as I spoke of.
SER Neil: Keep in mind, you may never hear from me, as nothing may be announced towards the game being released here.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: I will keep this in mind thank you.
SER Neil: Great I would be happy to do so, is there anything else I can help you with?
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Well there is one thing. What about merchandising? I've read in magazine articles and on the net about Kingdom Hearts merchandise,yet I have not seen anything in stores yet. Are there any plans for it being on the store shelves?
SER Neil: Yusuke, I apologize for the inconvience, but at this time I will need to transfer this chat to another representative. Please give me a moment.
SER Wesley S has entered the session.
SER Wesley S: Hello, Yusuke, please give me a moment while I familiarize myself with this chat session.
SER Neil has left the session.
SER Wesley S: We do make game related merchandise. Most Kingdom Hearts merchandise is made by our business partners. We do not know when Kingdom Hearts merchandise is released.
SER Wesley S: Sorry, we do not make game related merchandise.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Well, I have seen stuff like KH figurines in pictures of events such as E3, Jump Festa, etc.

But I thought you just said you did?
SER Wesley S: I mistakenly said we did. That is why I corrected what I said the sentence before.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Oh ok. So there isn't anything official for merchandise in NA?
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Or have your business partners already made and shipped them here?
SER Wesley S: We do not have the information on when our business partners release items as they are other companies.
Yusuke Yamaguchi: Okay. thank you anyway.
SER Wesley S: Are there any other issues I can assist you with right now, Yusuke?
Yusuke Yamaguchi: No, I am quite satisfied.
SER Wesley S: Thank you for visiting our Square Enix Chat line, Yusuke!
Thank you for visiting the SQUARE ENIX customer support chat, take care.
Your session has ended. You may now close this window.

I wonder why they give out the name Neil??? It's like they're creating clones over there........
or they're a cult where everyone is named neil (as I have said)
unfortunatlty(sp?) wesley has shattered my thoery like nobodies business.
Neil said "he created the 'list'" perhaps he is the only representitive for KHII:FM questions?
man, they are quite useless aren't they. I think they know as much as we do, lol keep spamming the, though until they complain/notify SE JP about the sudden surge in intrest for KHII:FM+

wesley appears to be the rep that questions about merchandise are directed to.
\but other than that I'll agree that Neil probably "sits in an office all day talking to us live"

Probably, lol. Riku_keyblader needs to change his sig to cult of neils and wesley s. lol

Yeah, I saw that that was very funny but I think for confidentialitys sake they have all the male representives go by the name of Neil, and the female representives by something else.

I know why it's just Neil! ! !

I went online and used my bf's name and e-mail to talk to them this time and found out why we keep talking to Neil.

SER Neil: Hello, David , thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Center. Just a few moments while I review your question, please.

SER Neil: There has not been any announcements of a Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix in North America.If you would like, I will add your name and e-mail to a list of people interested, so basically when/ if I hear of something official, I will alert you.

David : How come everytime I do "Live Chat" I end up talking to a "Neil"? And please add me to the list
David : Hello?

SER Neil: Well, I'm the Console Support Specialist.
SER Neil: I'm sorry if you want to talk to someone else.

David : oh
David : no, I just thought it was weird

SER Neil: Nope, just me, I have people cover me on my lunches and breaks, but I stay on top of console supprot.

David : That's cool, someone on a website that I go to mentioned that if you ask about this game they will add you to a list and everyone says they talked to a neil exceppt for one guy who asked about merchandise and got transferred to a Wesley
SER Neil: Yeah, thats my coverage.
SER Neil: lol

David : So, after I get added to the list will I also be informed if there is an announcement within the company of a confirmed "No stateside release"?

SER Neil: I'd be happy to put you on the list, keep in mind, this is a list I'm doing myself to try and help out the fans with FIRST HAND info..so...IF, and I need to emphasize IF...I hear anything about KH2:FM, I would personally e-mail you.
SER Neil: Yes excatly.
SER Neil: Exactly, sorry for the typo.

David : Awesome dude, thank you! Would you add me to the list pls?

SER Neil: You're on it :)

David : Thank you, I told my gf I would have my name added to the list.
David : Just in case it holds any powers of persuasion.......

SER Neil: Well, I don't know if the list will persuade the higher-ups to release it out here..but it's there.

David : Would you be happy if it came out here?
David : ???

SER Neil: Absolutely, I'm sorry for the lateness, I'm dealing with many customers at once.
SER Neil: I would like to see it, but to be quite honest, I don't know if it will hit North America.

David : It's cool, I know you can't tell me how many people are on the list. But in an average day about what percentage of people that you talk to ask about this game? Can you answer that?

SER Neil: I really cannot I'm sorry.

David : It's ok. That's all I really need. Thank you for making the list!!!

Umm... Are you sure you were talking to Neil and not some mindless, happy zombie? He is like an automated machine isn't he? If not, then he writes pretty da-...rn fast.

Neil wants KH2FM+!!
YOU HEAR THAT SE?

NEIL WANTS IT. YOU GOT IT.

So? I type/write fast.
I doubt he's automated. Automated answerers don't answer questions directly, type "lol" or ":)" when appropriate, etc.
